Dancing on Ice Week 4
Pre Show Ramblings
Hmmm, I’ve heard that one of the pros is injured - I’m hoping it’s not one of my faves and that no-one is injured enough to not be able to skate.
I’m scared. Any of my favourites could end up in the skate off this week. Matt is less likely, but Fred, Melanie and Frankie could easily end up there, regardless of how well their partner skates.
I know Torvill and Dean are supposed to be back and doing a routine tonight, so I assume we get a Jayne and Chris routine with no pros. Boo.
Oh noooo, Ellery doom!
The Opener
Nice dress Holly!
Oooooh that was a funky routine! I hadn’t heard the song before (Jessica Simpson - Swing With Me) but it was good and matched the routine well!
Required element : Pairs spiral
Uh oh, no white trousers for Fred!
There are some dodgy outfits tonight.
Why does Donal have a nice top with clown trousers?
Mel’s hair’s got redder! Or it’s reflecting her outfit.
MY EYES!!!! Jessica and Pavel’s outfits should come with a glare warning. I think I like them though.
Hmmm, not a lot of cheering for Ray (fine by me) and Ruthie got booed. BAD crowd!
Melinda and Fred - Macarena (Los Del Mar?)
[T] Hehe, unimpressed Fred! Dodgy music choice.
Bex, why did you not join in with the annoying kids??
[S] That’s almost Suzanne’s bolero dress in orange!
She looked a bit stiff and there were some slow transitions, but that was basically good and I really liked the twirly thing!
I think the lift was maybe meant to be a roll up though…
[J][16.5] Not a terrible score, could have been higher for safety.
Hehe, bless Fred’s self-doubt!
Oh, shut up Jason.
Oh no, please don’t let Ellery break Frankie! Chris broke her on last year’s tour already!
Ray and Maria - Smooth Criminal (Michael Jackson)
[T] Oh why have they given him that move?! It’s a pro move. And it’s WEEK 4!
[S] Rude. Ice walk. I’ll let them off cos it’s Michael Jackson again…
Stumble!
He more or less pulled off that move though.
Fab lift! Love the lift!
(Still prefer Billie Jean though… )
[J][24] Nothing to add to judges’ comments.
Zoe and Matt - Hot and Cold (Katy Perry)
[T] Is Matt going for different hair every week?!
[S] Awesome, I already associate this song with Matt; the routine will cement it!
Awww, that reminded me of early Suzanne and Matt! It’s a good sign.
[J][20] Good score, definitely deserved!
Zoe love, no need to shout, you have a microphone!
Ruthie loves her! She’s turning into Suzanne, clearly.
Ellery and Frankie - With or Without You (U2)
[T] DO NOT DROP HER!!!
[S] *holds breath*
Not very drapey, but it was a lift and no-one got broken. Phew!
Not a great performance, but certainly not bad and definitely improved.
Sergeant major Frankie?! :oO
[J][16] Oh come on! At least an 18.
The judges are gonna savage him.
Frankie clearly also thinks the score should have been higher *arms Frankie with sharpened skates*
Coleen and Stuart - I’m in the Mood for Dancing (The Nolans)
[T] Eeee, Nolans!
[S] Horrible outfits tonight
A couple of tiny wobbles, and she looked like she was relying a little too much on Stuart to move her around when she can actually do it herself, but not bad.
[J][16] Everyone’s gonna be bunched up in the middle of the scoreboard again tonight then?
I can see Jason refusing to come back next series - he’s getting really pissed off this year.
Donal and Florentine - Everybody Needs Somebody (Blues Brothers)
[T] We know what your day job is! Stop telling us!!
Oooh, her English is good. We haven’t heard her speak much before.
[S] Ooof, fall! Good recovery though.
Much better performance than last week, but the costumes hurt my eyes.
Hard landing out of the lift for Florentine though.
[J][16] About right but I would have expected it to be from more even scores - not high and low
Tonight’s audience are very disrespectful.
Michael and Melanie - Kiss (Prince)
[T] Hehe, cheeky kiss!
Why is everyone trying to drop my faves tonight??
HE BROKE MY MELANIE!!! *death glares*
[S] YES! He’s gonna get criticised for his dancing but the skating was good and I think the first clean skate for him!
[J][18.5] Yes, a slightly higher score! Well deserved.
“I’m a tough cookie!”
Hehe, Fred’s been issuing threats.
Strong core! Finally!
Roxanne and Daniel - Sweet about Me (Gabriella Cilmi)
[T] Stripey earmuffs!
[S] Not bad, but a bit messy. Her dancing wasn’t always that neat and her spiral wobbled a bit.
[J][17] I actually agree with Jason’s comment on this one.
Todd and Susie - Every Breath You Take (Sting/The Police)
[T] Oh this is going to be cringey.
[S] Oh poor Susie, this is tedious!
Creepy. And wrong.
[J][7.5] He’s actually got worse! Back to week 1 scores!
Jessica and Pavel - Groove is in the Heart (Dee-lite)
[T] Wasn’t concentrating - I’m tired and she was boring me
[S] That is the most animated I have EVER seen Pavel! Secret disco diva??
I now love those outfits, and really enjoyed that routine.
The back spiral got a little close I feel ;o)
[J][21.5] Yay, good score!
Oh no, it’s gonna be a Frankie skate off again. Doom. :o(
The Skate Off
So stressed already! I fear we may lose Frankie or Fred tonight.
Matt looks really worried, Mel looks like she’s in more pain that she’s letting on. Don’t make her skate again please.
Matt’s wearing as much make up as Zoe…
Frankie’s still not impressed!
Ewww, Donal’s shirt is sweaty.
Awww, Mel’s so cute.
“I’m a Geordie, not a Scouser!” Bless Susie.
OMG I hadn’t realised how scary Jessica’s eye make up was.
*holds breath again*
Oh no, Donal’s safe
Jessica’s safe - she should be
Matt’s safe! One down…
Ugh, Ray’s safe.
Roxanne’s safe.
I’m not gonna like this skate off.
YES! Frankie’s safe! “Result!”
MEL MEL MEL please
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Todd’s safe.
Mel and Fred are both left which means at least one of them will be in the skate off. If it’s one of them vs Coleen if they don’t screw up they could be safe, BUT if it’s both of them? DOOM!
I feel sick. I truly hate the skate off.
[adverts]
I may pass out from holding my breath.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Husband v wife skate off.
Michael HAS to do this properly. I love both but want Melanie more!
Melinda and Fred: That was so much better than before. Usually I’d be pleased, but not this time. I really have the fear.
*hugs Fred*
I’m actually shaking
Michael and Melanie: Also REALLY good! Better than Fred I think. Hope.
*hugs Mel*

And now he’s attacking Mel with the flowers.
*blinks back the tears*
There are no words.
